I am not a huge fan of fruit in savory meals, but for this grilled watermelon I happily make an exception! Quickly grilling watermelon really brings it to life. As watermelon mostly consists out of water and does not have a very sweet taste, you can easily give it the flavor you want by using some spices. With some thyme, mint, salt and pepper it quickly gets a savory flavor. Fun as an original appetizer, but also perfect as a meat replacement for a vegetarian BBQ!

Hi there! I am Pieter from Antwerp (Belgium) and welcome to my foodblog! As an avid foodie I do not only enjoy dining out but also love cooking myself. Through "zot van smaak" I wish to share my own recipes with the rest of the world and also want to challenge myself to create new recipes and flavor combinations.
On this website you can expect a variety of recipes. I don't like to limit myself to a certain cuisine so you can expect many dishes that use flavors and spices from all over the world.
Have fun cooking!
